TIGHTLY-STRUNG OCEAN OF WISDOM Becoming as rare a piece of work as the brand of instrument after which he is named, (Ire) ( {Ire}) returns to Royal Ascot on Thursday looking to join a band of staying nobles whose names have been written more than once on the G1 Gold Cup honour roll. In contrast to the fast conditions he encountered 12 months ago when outgaming Vazirabad (Fr) (Menduro {Ger}), Bjorn Nielsen=s millionaire faces a potential slog this time with rain continuing to dog Berkshire=s theatre of dreams. Like all the greats of this cherished division, the beloved chestnut is also met by a new cast a year on, as would-be marathon stars appear from all angles. They include the remorseless Dee Ex Bee (GB) (Farhh {GB}), with his humourless galloping style certain to fit Thursday=s edition, and the swashbuckling class act from the G1 Melbourne Cup in Cross and charge through the rain Counter (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}), who would have been best served to land Wednesday=s G1 Prince of Wales=s S. | Racingfotos had the rain stayed away.

With the recent extraction of (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) from the equation combining with the continuous drenching received by the hallowed venue, the stars aligned for the ultra-consistent homebred and what Stoute saw in his famed mind=s eye a month ago became reality in the Ascot gloom. The Prince of Wales=s victory earned Crystal Ocean a spot in the GI Breeders= Cup Turf in November if connections so choose. Using Ballydoyle=s pacemaker Hunting Horn (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) as his own, Frankie Dettori thrust the 3-1 second favourite into the lead before the two-furlong pole. Despite running around in the clear, Crystal Ocean safely held the 13-8 favourite (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) en route to a 1 1/4-length verdict over the filly to gift an 80th Royal winner to his trainer.

As it boiled down to a match between the American and North England girls, it was always going to be Raffle Prize=s extra stamina that decided the contest and the 18-1 shot slowly gained the edge inside the last half furlong. At the line, Frankie Dettori had earned a head verdict over the ultra-game Kimari, as >TDN Rising Star= and 6-1 favourite Final Song (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) fared best of the Godolphin quartet a length away in third.

Peters' decision to target the 1200m Randwick sprint over the ARCADIA QUEEN CLAIMS 2040m of the G1 Cox Plate was somewhat of a surprise and is being used as an example of the growing influence of The EVEREST SPOT Everest. Arcadia Queen has only had six starts, for five wins, and just one preparation, but Peters is confident she is up to the class. AAll the experts tell me she=s pretty good, the offers I get to buy her tell me those people think she=s pretty good, the handicappers think so, I hope they are right," he said. AUntil we won (the Kingston Town) with Perfect Reflection (More Than Ready {USA}) a three-year-old filly had never won it. In their defence not many went in it, we=re the only ones silly enough to do it." AWe=ve won the race five times but she was definitely the one that stands out to me. Before that it was Old Comrade (Old Spice) but he didn=t have the record she does and didn=t win it as well as she did." Peters said Arcadia Queen was likely to have a lead-up run into Bob and Sandra Peters | TDN AusNZ The Everest, with a strong likelihood she would go on and contest the $7.5m Golden Eagle at Rosehill.

OWNER/BREEDER SCHICKEDANZ DIES ASHVIEW TO ASCOT: by Kelsey Riley ANOTHER 'A-LYSTER' Gustav Schickedanz, a leading owner/breeder in Canada, foxhunting enthusiast and construction magnate, died CELEBRITY peacefully on June 17 aged 90 at his home in Schomberg, Ontario, with his family by his side. What Gus achieved in the Thoroughbred business, with a broodmare band rarely totaling more than 20, was truly remarkable. His pride and joy was his homebred sire Langfuhr (Danzig), who in 1996 won the GI Vosburgh S. and GII Forego H., and in 1997 the GI Carter H. and the GI Metropolitan H. Langfuhr, standing first at Vinery and later at Lane’s End where he is today pensioned at age 26, would carve out a reputation as a reliable sire of runners over all surfaces and across all distances, his Grade I winners including Whitney H. and Woodward S. winner Lawyer Ron, Arlington Million and Gulfstream Park Turf S. winner Jambalaya and Beldame S. and Gazelle H. winner Imperial Gesture.

Now they have bred a pretty adventurous horse, too, in Bound for Nowhere (The Factor), who this week crosses the ocean for a third time in just 11 career starts. But he is only the latest to demonstrate that anyone trying to beat a path to the winner's circle--that sunlit clearing in the jungle of breeding and raising --can take their bearings from an exceptionally reliable compass in Ashview Farm. Bound for Nowhere is another terrifically fast graduate of the family operation near Versailles, Kentucky, that gave us Johannesburg (Hennessy) and Runhappy (Super Saver). He has contested two Group 1 sprints at Ascot: fourth to Caravaggio (Scat Daddy) as a sophomore with just two starts under his belt; and then beaten under a length when third from a horrible draw in the Diamond Jubilee S. last year. Bound for Nowhere returns for the same race on Saturday, having again set himself up with a fine comeback in the Grade II sprint he won at Keeneland last spring (just collared a neck this time around).

Lysters cont. from p1 Another showcase, then, for the horsemanship of Wayne Lyster, his wife Muffy, and their sons Gray and Bryan, who nowadays share front-of-house at Ashview. They found his dam Fancy Deed (Alydeed) at the 2011 Keeneland November Sale, needing just $15,000 even though she was a half-sister to the stellar Midnight Lute (Real Quiet). "I think it was one of those scenarios where if a mare doesn't produce anything from her first few foals, she becomes worth an absolute fraction of what she might have been before," says Gray Lyster. "But sometimes you can make an excuse for them. And in my opinion she just hadn't been bred to particularly good sires." The Lysters sent her to a rookie son of War Front with a good buzz at the time, in The Factor. And the resulting colt made $310,000 from Wesley Ward at the 2015 September Sale. "That's fun, from a $15,000 mare and a $15,000 stud fee," Gray accepts. "But it certainly wasn't something we were shocked by. He was a really good-looking, smooth-walking colt, who vetted well, by a sire who was selling well. I guess the only thing was that as a May colt, he wasn't small, but compared to the big, beautiful horse he is now, he still needed to mature a little bit. Wesley kind of bought him at a moment's notice and, being the sportsman he is, kept him for himself." There was an extra dividend for the trainer, as Ward was duly sent the last foal out of the mare, who sadly colicked hours after delivering a filly by Goldencents the following March. The Lysters decided to keep her, and named her Bingwa: a nod, as the Swahili for "champion", to their collective love of the whole bush environment and culture. And, a debut scorer last year, she looked highly progressive in winning a Belmont allowance last month. Cont. p4

Lysters cont. But the ultimate coup was the mother of Runhappy. The boys had still been in college for Johannesburg, who was very much a Wayne Lyster production. But Runhappy sealed their integration into the regime, as son of a mare Gray claimed for $5,000 at Delaware. She was later sold for $1.6 million to Stonestreet. “The funny thing is, I don't know how many we claimed that year but it was a bunch," recalls Bryan. "And she was literally the only one we kept. I don't know if that was because we saw the light--or if maybe we just got a little lucky."

Schickedanz cont. from p1 Gus’s entire program was built on cultivating his own families and using predominantly his homebred stallions, and thus it is no surprise Langfuhr would go on to be the linchpin of his breeding program in the 21st century.

Schickedanz cont. He arrived July 12, 1950, with the clothes on his back, a toothbrush and $3 in his pocket. He found a job the following day laying bricks for a German contractor for $1.10 an hour and as he later recalled, “I was never unemployed.” Gus’s elder brothers Gerhard and Kurt, as well as their cousin Dani, arrived in Toronto the following year and the quartet shared an apartment and worked as stonemasons and carpenters. In 1953 they incorporated their construction company Schickedanz Brothers. Anyone who has ever spent time around Gus could attest to his devotion to family and his loyalty, and the fact that the Schickedanzes were able to build an extremely successful business as a team and run it harmoniously for more than 60 years is a testament to those qualities. In a biography commissioned by the Schickedanzes in 2011 for family and friends, Gus explained that it was set out in the beginning that the running of Schickedanz Brothers would not be majority rule; all four had to agree on a decision to move it forward. With four stubborn German men at the helm, this admittedly led to many a late-night deliberation, but in the end they all emerged on the same page. Today, Schickedanz Brothers owns land in the Greater Toronto Area and as far afield as British Columbia, Alberta, Florida and South Carolina. Shortly after the company was founded, Gus married his wife, Ann, and they had four daughters: Lisa, Tina, Susi and Heidi. Later, when Gus began to grow his breeding and racing operations, those same family values shone through not only in his dedication to his equine families but in his loyalty to his long- serving--and equally as loyal and hard-working--farm manager Lauri Kenny and trainer Mike Keogh. Kenny and Keogh are often described in racing circles as Gus’s “adoptive sons” and have been paramount in his racing success. Gus, in Germany, had been on the backs of horses nearly from the time he could walk--“I believe I rode at age two and a half, bareback and barefoot,” he recalled--but his passion was set aside for his first decade in Canada to focus on building his business and his family. In 1960, he at last got back in the saddle with the purchase of a handful of Trakehner horses--this breed, originating from his homeland, would be Gus’s mount of choice for Foxhunting and carriage driving. Gus later kept a small string of Trakehners that shuttled between his farms in Ontario and South Carolina, and he rode every morning until well into his 80s. His faithful servants included the geldings Ethos and Kronprinz, and in 2006 he traveled to Germany and paid a record price at auction for Songline, a young Trakehner stallion in training who went on to be a very successful eventer.

LETTER FROM ASCOT: VIOLETTE’S At the Belmont Park stable gate, the Pinkerton guard in charge told him he was "a mad Englishman to arrive with no job."

That is where Rick Violette changed the course of life for Charlie Tipthorn. He hired the youngster as an exercise rider. With his first paycheck, Tipthorn bought a set of American riding gear, and settled in on the backstretch in Elmont, New York. Charlie was devastated when I told him that Rick had passed away last October. The outpouring of respect was overwhelming. Tipthorn said that Violette was the most focused person in any backstretch to the needs of his horses, and a deep commitment to the men and women who are the backbone of racing. He called his association with Violette a miracle of his life and a teacher on being strict and determined in whatever he did. Royal Ascot Wednesday | Horsephotos by Dave Johnson There is a camaraderie at any racetrack that you seldom find in other sports or businesses--not only among the trainers who show up at an unfamiliar venue with a horse box and one or two four-legged lifelines to the sport; not only among the riders who check into a new jockey's room with a duffel bag, a helmet, a whip and a dream.

LTS cont. According to the official request to the Kentucky Racing Commission, Churchill Downs may be able to own and operate up to 12 pari-mutuel devices on the location, where members, customers, and guests will have the ability to enjoy all the amenities of horse racing and wagering on site. “This is a tremendous step forward in all of our efforts to provide our members and guests with a premium, first-class, top-of-the-line, premium private club that is dedicated to promoting the greatest industry and sport in the Commonwealth,” said McLean, one of the three Founding Members of the LTS. The others are Mike Schnell and Dave Steinbrecher, who own and are restoring the historic property to be known as the Hughes Lofts. “From day one, we have communicated and worked diligently with Churchill Downs on this project. And, without any question at all, we would not be in the position we are today without the considerable help, support, and confidence of the world’s most renowned and historic horse racing venue,” said McLean. “They have been amazing partners in this project. Amazing. In fact, I cannot imagine anyone being more helpful, cooperative and encouraging. This is just another example of their commitment to make this the finest horse club in the world.” The Louisville Thoroughbred Society--which will have a state-of-the-art audio and video network at the new facility, in addition to many other amenities, including a premium Cigar Bar, outdoor patio bar and entertainment area, an indoor “library” and meeting spaces--is now expected to open for full business early in 2020. “This is an exciting partnership with a team that is passionate about seeing horse racing thrive in Kentucky,” said Churchill Downs Racetrack President Kevin Flanery in a subsequent release. “We are pleased to provide additional opportunities for fans to wager and look forward to seeing how the product is embraced by the locals.”
